<h1>vorbis_encode_setup_managed</h1>

<p><i>declared in "vorbis/vorbisenc.h";</i></p>

<p>This function performs step-one of a three-step bitrate-managed
encode setup.  It functions similarly to the one-step setup performed
by <a href="vorbis_encode_init.html">vorbis_encode_init()</a> but
allows an application to make further encode setup tweaks using <a
href="vorbis_encode_ctl.html">vorbis_encode_ctl()</a> before finally
calling <a
href="vorbis_encode_setup_init.html">vorbis_encode_setup_init()</a> to
complete the setup process.

<p>Before this function is called, the <a
href="../libvorbis/vorbis_info.html">vorbis_info</a> struct should be initialized
by using vorbis_info_init() from the libvorbis API.  After encoding,
vorbis_info_clear should be called.

<p>The max_bitrate, nominal_bitrate, and min_bitrate settings are used
to set constraints for the encoded file.  This function uses these
settings to select the appropriate encoding mode and set it up.

<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><i>vi</i></dt>
<dd>Pointer to an initialized <a href="../libvorbis/vorbis_info.html">vorbis_info</a> struct.</dd>
<dt><i>channels</i></dt>
<dd>The number of channels to be encoded.</dd>
<dt><i>rate</i></dt>
<dd>The sampling rate of the source audio.</dd>
<dt><i>max_bitrate</i></dt>
<dd>Desired maximum bitrate (limit). -1 indicates unset.</dd>

<h3>Return Values</h3>
<blockquote>
<li>
0 for success</li>

<li>less than zero for failure:</li>
<ul>
<li>OV_EFAULT - Internal logic fault; indicates a bug or heap/stack corruption.</li>
<li>OV_EINVAL - Invalid setup request, eg, out of range argument. </li>
<li>OV_EIMPL  - Unimplemented mode; unable to comply with bitrate request.</li>
</ul>
